I absolutely stand by this title now. I am a 34 year old male and voted for the first time in the 2016 election. In the primaries I voted Bernie and talked trash to Trump supporters. Final elections I voted Libertarian (Gary Johnson) because I was getting more knowledgeable about what I was voting for. I wanted to break the two party system and plus fuck Hillary Clinton. During this primary I voted Bernie again (not because I wanted him to be president but because i was thinking of all the dank memes for a Bernie vs Trump final and I knew the SOB wouldn't win against Trump) Now since then and especially this COVID19 pandemic has really opened my eyes - Democrats are crazy. I mean I live in Alabama and majority of my friends are liberal and I love them but holy hell try and hold a conversation with them coming from a different view. They will almost break down. My friend said "oh you are one of those people" and started bashing my view because he found out I voted Libertarian. Instead of listening to me and finding common ground I am immediately an enemy basically. When I talk to both sides i listen with open ears and i understand where they are coming from usually (except my one friend who is full on "eat the rich" socialist) and I discuss things. You can't with liberals. They will not hear or tolerate your non-liberal view and they take it as a personal attack against them. One friend is so far up Hillary's ass he wont even fathom that maybe she is apart of the problem and in the same government that he claims holds and oppresses people down. She didn't win because of "sexism."

Things I've noticed during this pandemic:

  • Liberals have ruined my glorious Reddit. I cant even read a damn COVID19 post without shoehorning Trump in it as a problem. (Maybe Karen you should drink bleach if that's what you took from the press conference.)
  • Liberals are all doom and gloom while Conservatives have been looking for hope during this pandemic. I'd rather see "we might" then "lock the doors we are doomed second wave"
  • The media and Left's obsession with twisting everything Trump does is dumbfounding. How do people listen and continue to believe everything? EVERYTHING?
  • I have tried to talk to Liberals and they just push me away and discount anything I say. No meeting in the middle. I even told them the reason I dont vote them is because of the left voting base. Instead of listening and at least trying to persuade me to join them they label me as an enemy and push me to the other side. Where as the right seems to listen (I may be shat on a little but hey it's the internet) and they at least converse back with me in a good manner. Then I take a red pill ...

So basically what I am saying is I am at the loading dock ready to board this Trump train in 2020. CHOO CHOO MOTHERFUCKERS WE COMING IN HOT AND HEAVY!

Edit: Also lets talk about how the same Liberals who claim the government is racist, oppressive, and down right corrupt are now advocating full on government control during this pandemic? What a 180! Maybe, just maybe the government would handle this right and it be okay but what happens when someone in that government now doesnt believe in the same things you do? Doesnt matter you have full government control and now you are on the short end of the stick instead of the other side. I mean it's common sense when you think of the long term.

Where's my red hat?

One thing here - we should not underestimate the power of the Bernie Bloc. A LOT of Millenials and Gen Z will vote for him. Instant gratification is a part of their daily lives - even a dude I thought was super based (hard working young dude in the Marines; friends with my kids) said ‘just take it from the rich’ when I asked him how we would pay for everyone getting 2000$ a month a couple weeks ago. I’m not sure if he was on a fishing expedition to find out who were socialists or not but it shocked me.

Anyway, instant gratification. A lot of Millenials and Gen Z think that they should have RIGHT NOW what their parents built with 40 years of wealth accumulation. I very often see posts of them getting a car or an apartment and the post reads like they’re ashamed that it’s not gloriously impressive. I made it a point once to make sure I told one of them we had the same truck when he posted about it. A Bernie ticket would get a lot of young people voting that normally wouldn’t care to. That’s their big shot at skipping the long road of wealth accumulation...or they see it that way.

Do not underestimate Bernie. If anyone has a chance at taking the Presidency away from us it’s him.

It's funny you tap into something I've been thinking about here. Biden is such a shitty candidate I'm not sure I want him replaced. I think ideally we expose his rape allegations, the left lose a ton of support by proving that when the cards are down they are an actual rape culture, and then Trump stomps Biden.

It sounds funny when you say it out loud but the Dems could probably swap Biden for an intern who speaks in complete sentences and has a (D) next to their name and my guess is their odds would go up.

Agreed - virtually anyone would be better than Biden for Dems.

A combination of two things to drop:

  1. Br'er Rabbit style "No! Do not go with Joe Biden!! As a Trump supporter, he is the only candidate who stands a chance of beating Trump! Oh, this is a disaster!" (to encourage them to go with the easily-defeated canditate)
  2. "Man, Bernie got ripped off again, can you believe this shit?" (to encourage them to let their emotions scatter the vote)

Bernie dropped out (again) and he is keeping the money (again). Bernie supporters got snookered by this Communist (again). His fat babushka wife likes the $, and Bernie had a plan to rake it in for her and her huge family.
